Waiting for His return, His glorious return.

Romans 8:38-39

38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This life is challenging. The more we speak the Word, the more we proclaim the Word, the larger the target we carry for the world to aim at. There will be troubles in this world, yet is there anything that causes or shows that His love for us lessens? No, none can take the believer from Him or Him from the believer. (Paraphrased from Matthew Henry Concise Commentary).
His love never dies, it never gives up, and neither should ours. When we die, all our worldly possessions are left behind. All our worldly pain is left behind. We are joined forever with our God to live the ultimate party in joy, peace, and love.
So why stay? He has us here to do a job: to become the men and women He created us to be, to endlessly strive to be more like Him, to serve, to be the light, to shun self-righteousness and religion, to share His word, the gospel, in the world.
So live large for Him, through Him, with Him. Follow His lead fearlessly with no regrets.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences.
I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving.
